Dear,

may be my issue is very very stupid and I apologize in advance if that's
the case. However, I'm facing with errors in electron routine in pw.x
Here is part of my input file

I never had problems using PP Fe.pz-nd-rrkjus.UPF but I was benchmarking
several other NORMCONS and ULTRASOFT PP just for comparisons

Here is highlights of the output file you might need for give me your
opinion:
